ome General Knowledge regarding the shift in climate and cognitive bias on,
‘This is the way I have always done it’.
Climate conditions refer to weather patterns in a specific area or geographically. For horticultural gardeners, ignoring these scenarios can lead to poor management, resulting in frustration and blame. The weather and climate are surprising us all and concurrent seasons are unpredictable resulting to climate disruption which is forever becoming more alien.
It means that the industry is changing at an alarming rate and that we need to adapt our game. This could be installing an irrigation system, collecting more rainwater during wet periods and protecting crops from droughts and spikes in pests.
With 9/1/2 years experience and counting. I have spent a considerable amount of time depicting what plant may be suited to the garden in relation to the clients needs. It’s recommended that when you hire a gardener, you shouldn’t use him, not just for labour, but try to work towards maximizing impact for your garden so it more or less looks after itself.
For instance, a colourful low maintenance garden can be for people who would prefer to spend their time elsewhere and may not have the budget.
I manage all types of gardens ranging from specially designed ones to amateur ones. And the mission is to tailor it to your needs. For instance, you may have a bespoke garden which isn’t manageable and may be reluctant to remove what is in it.
And its understandable, from seeing the blooms and being reluctant to remove them. Below is a chart of what to expect throughout the year. I have over 500 different plant choices from scoting garden centres amd other peoples gardens. So I sould be able to pick the right plants for you
That's providing you want this?
